Graphics Parallel Printer Card

Compatibility
Most Commonly Used

Any Slotted Apple II, Laser 128 or Franklin 1000. Where graphics printing is needed.*

This card will support graphics as well as text printing on any standard Centronics Parallel printer, such as the Epson MX, RX or FX Series. The Panasonic 1124 & 1180 or the Citizen GSX 140 or 200.

The most common GPPC that is found is the Orange Micro Grappler Plus card. This card, when in stock is the best answer to ANY printing needs. 98% of software knows and has this card listed as an option. It works with MANY different types of printers. Including the Hewlett Packard Laser Jet series of printers.

There are also some older parallel printer cards for the Apple II series that do NOT SUPPORT graphics and should be used only if you are sure that you will not be using ANY applications such as The PrintShop, PrintMagic, or any other graphics programs. They will usually NOT be able to print using this type of card. To identify a TEXT ONLY printer card, you should look on the card for an EPROM. If none is found, USUALLY, BUT NOT ALWAYS, the card will NOT support graphics, and therefor is a text only card.

*IIgs NOTE: If a parallel printer is to be used with the Apple IIgs, thecard recommend for this is the Orange Micro Grappler Plus, along with the Harmony GS/OS Printer driver package available from Shareware Solutions II < http://www.crl.com/~joko>
